A LETTER found in the apartment of a missing Salt Lake City woman
suggests she was having marital problems with her husband, who is now
accused of killing her. "I hate coming home from work because it hurts
to be home in our apartment," said the letter, excerpts of which were
included in a police document released yesterday. "I can't imagine life
with you if things don't change. I got someone I don't know I want to spend
the rest of my life with unless changes are made."

The document does not explicitly say who wrote the letter, but Mark
Hacking's first name was written on the outside of the folded note.

In a 42-page affidavit, police revealed dozens of items seized from the
couple's apartment, their vehicles and Mark Hacking's workplace locker.

Hacking has been charged with murder, accused of shooting his wife, Lori,
after her discovery he had been lying about his college education and plans
to enroll at a medical school.

A security-camera company official said yesterday police are reviewing
surveillance images from a hospital where they believe Hacking dumped his
wife's body in a trash container.
